For business, finding a manufacturing partner that is reliable and produces high-quality goods is essential. But how can a manufacturer build a reputation in the industry as a trustworthy company to outsource to? Through teamwork, collaboration and guidance from others in the industry. This is why Manufacturing USA was created.
Manufacturing USA is an initiative focused on coordinating public and private investment in emerging advanced manufacturing technologies by bringing together industry, academia, and government partners. Over the past four years of the program, nine manufacturing innovation institutes have been established or announced, with six more planned by 2017. These manufacturing institutes are public-private partnerships that each have distinct technology focus areas but work towards a common goal: to secure America’s future through manufacturing innovation, education, and collaboration. The program has been designed as a space for manufacturing leaders to discuss industry-specific topics such as how to Boost profits with toll manufacturing.

Through Manufacturing USA, industry, academia, and government partners are leveraging existing resources, collaborating, and co-investing to nurture manufacturing innovation and accelerate commercialization. Each institute is designed to be a public-private membership organization that provides vision, leadership, and resources to its members.
Manufacturing USA connects people, ideas, and technology to solve industry-relevant advanced manufacturing challenges. Its goals are to enhance industrial competitiveness, increase economic growth, and strengthen U.S. national security. Reaching across industries, Manufacturing USA brings members of the manufacturing community together to overcome technical hurdles and to enable innovative new products. It covers every single part of manufacturing from small things like industrial tags to warehouse sourcing to automating manufacturing to revolutionizing the different sectors through new technology. It seeks to restore American preeminence in manufacturing by addressing shared manufacturing technology and workforce challenges. Challenges present themselves each day in this industry, even when businesses are using specialists from Jonble (jonble.com) to handle their overseas tasks, so it’s great for professionals to be able to come together and discuss their woes and come to a reasonable conclusion.
Manufacturing USA institutes focus on moving promising, early-stage research into proven capabilities ready for adoption by U.S. manufacturers. Their diverse membership includes small, mid-sized, and large manufacturers, as well as researchers from universities and government laboratories. The institutes provide members with access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, as well as workforce training and skills development customized to support new technology areas. Collaboration at institutes, and now through the network, creates an innovation community ushering in the next generation manufacturing supply chains located in America and employing Americans.
A National Organization
The Manufacturing USA network is operated by the interagency Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office, which is headquartered in the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in the Department of Commerce. The office operates in partnership with the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture.

Manufacturing USA In The Press
IMPACT – “These are exciting, emerging fields that have enormous promise and will drive innovation in critical sectors, creating more high-skill, high-wage, middle class jobs, improving our responses to life-threatening diseases, and advancing our national security.”
INDUSTRY DRIVEN – “They’re defined and driven by industry needs — not by government decisions. They bring hundreds of millions of dollars in private sector and other matching funds, often over-matching the federal investment 2:1 or even 3:1… Industry drives the research and development agenda and invests significantly, leading to outcomes that could not be achieved if companies acted alone.”
“For instance, a composites institute in Tennessee is working with industry to produce pioneering processes that will use carbon fiber and other advanced materials to improve vehicle fuel economy and reduce emissions.”
